We
had to use one of Robert Jackson's digital stamps so I chose the ‘Business Woman’.
I love to make things I can use. Since I’m trying to keep some organization in
my life, I thought about a jumbo clothes pin to keep up with my projects and
challenges in my scraproom colors.With Design Teams, meeting deadlines
is a must and procrastination is not an option! I painted it with red and black acrylic paint.Mmmm just wasn’t quite satisfied so I pulled
out my paper and several other embellishments.Now I can keep up with my projects that I love to create!!!

This
recipe from Taste of Home Red, White and Blue Dessert inspired me to create
this 8x8 layout.Its light and easy to prepare.With the 100+ temperatures in Memphis I refuse
to bake.Check out ‘Chef Phebe’.She is using her KitchenAid utensils.

Papercrafting has blessed me to have so many Friends Til the End. This card was made for Platinumscraps Design Team. I love this sketch. It will also be entered in Memascrafts June challenge - Just words. DCWV has several cool paper stacks. This Black & White paper was used as my background when I found the pokie dot brads in my stash. The purple flowers are a Rak from my Scrappy friend Mary J. The sentiment is a DCWV Friendship rub on. I pulled out my Cuttlebug embossed folder to give the black more definition. Thanks for stopping by 'My Friend'.

Let the Church Say Amen.....Nehemiah 8:6 Click below to hear the song as you view my blog. Thank you for stopping by. Your comments are greatly appreciated. Be blessedAndrae Crouch featuring Marvin Winans

I always keep a song on my heart and that
is the song that has been playing in my spirit for a while. “Let the Church Say Amen” is responsible for my creation for our Anything
Goes Challenge #9 at Jacksons
Digital Expressions. Our Design Team members were to alter coasters and use
a banner with a picnic theme. I received this Kaisercraft
Beyond the Page Coaster Set from my Scrappy friend Phillyscraps as a birthday RAK. I
knew I wanted to create a conversation piece for my table, but not sure what. I
LOVE inspiration around me and YES that
started the creative juices to flow. Mr. Jackson is SO talented and I
absolutely love his digi's. He has a variety and there are several in his 'Come
Sunday' category. I decided to do my Altered Coasters as an inspirational
theme. All of the images are from his site Robert Jackson Fine Arts. My coaster set is entitled Amen.

My banner reads Amen
Those are micro beads on the top of the coaster. Wish I would have put them all around the coaster.

I colored the base blue, green, orange and fushia

Used DCWV The Music Stash. For some reasons they stop selling it in the stores.
The papers are gorgeous and vibrant.
Here are six from one side.

Here are six from the opposite side.
Look below for more details.

RIGHT: Use alpha beads and spelled PRAISE HIM
Yes sometimes you just have to wave your hand!
Can I get an AMEN?!!

RIGHT: That image reminds me of my Papa who was a deacon in the church.
He would also crawl out the bed just like that on his knees in prayer before he said Good Morning.

LEFT: Prayer Hands....It all begins with prayer
RIGHT: Oh my goodness....On my pew use to be a gang of children when I taught Sunday School.

These ATCs were made for Trade it Tuesday at Scraps of Color. The monthly theme is
home. Old scrapbook kits and scraps were used to bring out the creativity. Since

will be my focus for next week. Be sure to come back and visit! I enjoy your
company.

A Little About Me

Hello and thank you for visiting my world. I am favored by God. He has given me several talents. My passion is scrapbooking. I formed a scrapbook club called Queen Scrappers. I am the Queen of Mini albums. What a better way to give, than to give a gift from the heart. It's like giving a little of yourself.
